Any advices for Nameless puppet?

[ChaosAndjey]

Stuck on this guy for 3 days. 1st phase easy, acid, almost everything parryable and boom. But 2nd is just something over the top. Cannot find a window when to hit that bastard, using 7 coils sword, so while I'm trying landing a hit, it starts combo-wombo and destroys my ass. Dunno, maybe I should re-spec to dex build and faster weapons. My record is almost 40% of his health on the 2nd phase. What is also annoying that it became much tankier then 1st phase. If you know some tips, would be greatly appreciated

Damn, now, after beating him, feeling myself so stupid, that forgot about evasion. Literally, sticked close to him, evade behind him and charged heavy attack. Thanks everyone for your advices, greatly appreciated

Actually, a lot a lot of the boss, you should do this.
I always love circling and dodge around the boss.
"Fear" and evading to maintain distance sometimes make things worse (however this is normal human common sense)

You can not outrun or just move to side for Nameless Puppet. The boss is way too nimble and quick for it and his attacks are sweeping with huge hitbox. You have to dodge through his attacks in the right direction, ie. through the attack and right side. Bigger bosses can be maneuvered around if you dodge and sprint at the right time, good example was Door Guardian or King of Puppets in phase 1.

It was hard for me to re-adjust, cause most of the bosses I passed by parrying, only King of puppets on the 2nd phase required dodging and it wasn't so needed. But anyways, now going for Truth playthrough, with the "new" knowledge

Dodge to the front whenever he does his fancy moves on second phase. Keeps his back open for charge attacks. Equip shock abrasive and bonus damage to puppets amulet

Did anyone find timing or clue on how to perfect guard this Fury attack charges from across the screen? I only managed to perfect guard it 2 times in all of my attempts....

I have yet to perfect parry that attack. I parried it like a few times and never again. Just time the dodge to side. Don't dodge into it. Is the consistent thing I've found to avoid it.

You can not dodge Fury attack unless you have boss amulet, which I do not have since I focused on guarding in my first playthrough. I tried to dodge and run to the side but never managed to avoid the hit since the boss tracks your movement like a turret.

1) Having additional health and damage reduction really helps in this fight, I went from 20 Vit to 30 Vit and suddenly survived long enough to actually get practice in with the fight

3) Having shot puts in your hot bar can help with getting staggers you would otherwise miss, they come out quicker than heavies and have good reach and tracking if you use them while the boss winds up an attack (merchant at malum district sells them for 470 a pop)

[Baron01]

Shot puts are absolutely crucial consumable for several late-game or very agile bosses where landing charged attack can be very tricky. I invested my Quartz' into increasing time enemies remain staggered so it is bit easier but I still used Shot Puts for late-game bosses. Some of the fights toward end of the game are very chaotic and bosses are very aggressive so you do not want to miss opportunity to deal some free damage and get a bit of a breaher while performing fatal attack.

In his second phase learn to consistently perfect parry his "onigiri" move (the one where he does a fury charge attack) and his sweep moves. And always be ready for the speed bump from the 1st to 2nd phase.

This is just timing nothing else. It's always after you'd expect it to hit. I don't think there are any visual cues like his eyes glowing briefly, not sure. Just get the feel for it.

People keep saying use electrical cause hes a puppet but using the human amulet increases my damage on him. He is technically half human puppet

Im on this guy and phase 2 for me is harder to judge, half the time im not seeing his weapon cause of all the red ♥♥♥♥.
Ill try the dodge stuff more i think.

This is why I gave up. And just Gave the heart , the strings plus the red bs made it for me too hard to read. So, after 40 attempts just gave up.

I currently struggle on Nameless Puppet, some 30-40 minutes of re-tries, after I have completely smashed Manus' head on 5th total attempt.

Can anyone confirm Nameless Puppet's weapon can be broken? I'm currently consider just perfect guarding and not damaging it to break the waepon and hope it is possible and stick to phase 2.

I had the perfect guard grindstone active and his leaping charge red attacks STILL didn't get parried. I really think you cannot actually perfect parry them.

Use trident it will melt the puppet. Spam throwables second phase, use perfect guard grindstone preferably with the P Organ upgrades

[Zuruuu]

I had some attempts and here what I think that might help:

First phase:
1. Hard but after you learn to parry the attacks and which one to avoid makes way easier, don't waste your grindstone at this phase but use your Fable arts when you see the chance to speed things up

Second Phase:
1. Use the grindstone with acid, it will melt him down, right in the beginning at this phase
2. There is a fury attack which he dash very fast in a linear way, run to the side and use this opportunity to attack him or even use fable art
3. Learn to parry a ♥♥♥♥ attack which he slash a overhead attack, don't run, it follow you. Another good opportunity to attack him
4. There is a combo which he attacks like 6 times, like flying a little, dodge those

Good luck
